Sorry I cant help on this William (since its a Quicken security question).

I'll email Barry and ask him to look in. He's my Quicken "consultant" :)
He may be on holiday.

Yes, i am on holiday but picked up the message. This never happened to me but looking online I see....

https://www.thebalance.com/how-to-recover-password-protected-files-in-quicken-1293586

this gives some remedies, including remaking the files from backups.

A lot depends on whether the quicken version is still supported.

Managed to remember the password after completely forgetting it for six months

Thanks

Well done William. I'm sure you are relieved to be able to retrieve your data.
